Writing a quilt pattern was on the list of things to do in 2010. I can hardly believe it myself that I have accomplished one of my main New Year's Resolutions within the first two weeks of the year!

Writing a pattern posed as one of those almighty mental hurdles, and after much encouragement from family, friends, and blog readers, I decided earlier this week just to start writing. I have been best buddies with my computer ever since (although we certainly had our ups and downs!).

Bricks and Stones Quilt Pattern - PDF File

The Hope Valley Quilt featured in the GiveAway post has been renamed Bricks and Stones Quilt. The pattern is suitable for beginner to intermediate sewers, and includes step by step photo guide and many of my own tips and hints to enjoy success in making this quilt. The pattern comes in a PDF format only and is available for immediate download upon receipt of payment ~ from myEtsy Store.

Thank you also for your incredibly positive response to my GiveAway post! Good luck to everyone who has entered the draw, and to those of you who have not as yet already done so, it is not too late to leave a comment on the GiveAway post, and be in the running to win the actual Bricks and Stones Quilt.

Rita-Congrats on your first accomplishment for the New year. I just purchased the pattern on ETSY, and of course I have all of the fabric in my esty store. But of course, I still would very much love to win the one you made, it would be such an honor to have your work in my collection. Plus one of my new years resolutions is to finish my UFO's so I don't know when I'll ever be able to start a new quilt. Love the quilt, love the fabric, lover the pattern! Great job, very inspirational.

Congratulations on your accomplishment...especially in such a short time! I'm headed to Etsy now. Actually, my first time to purchase anything, ever on Etsy. Still wouldn't mind winning your giveaway though!

Congratulations on writing your first pattern and achieving a new year's resolution so early on in the year. Your quilts and your blog are truly inspirational - I never would have started my own blog in December without you and the bloggers you like to read have become some of my favourites too.

Thanks so much for making your pattern available on Etsy. I couldn't click through fast enough to purchase it! So now, even if I don't win your giveaway I can make one of my own. Maybe I'll cut in to those fabulous feedsack reproductions I've been hoarding....

well congratulations! I thought about writing a pattern for the airplane quilt I've created and working on but when I mentioned it to hubby, instead of saying, cool, I got a funny look. Then he said, I don't think it's all that special. Thanks hun. Good for your support system! I'm just going to have to teach hubby he was wrong for me. Maybe in 2011, though. ;)

Congrats on your first pattern! Thank you for your detailed instructions, I think this will be a perfect project for me. Thank you also for the tip re moving the needle position if you don't have a 1/4" foot, that will certainly make life easier!
